I killed a poor innocent baby Bunny

Just days after Easter 🙁

It was an accident.. and I was on the phone when it happened so I couldn’t take a video like my natural instincts wanted, so I took a picture. That was the right choice anyway cuz I wouldn’t want to relive it via video and wouldn’t post it. A photo though, I feel like has documenting importance. If for nothing else it can be a warning sign to be careful because your actions can affect others in your ecosystem or something. Either that or just the morbid nature of it all. STARE INTO THE FACE OF DEATH, CHILDREN. –nah- let’s definitely for sure go with the first theme about it being a tragic cautionary tale. Even though there is something undeniably haunting about a dead bunny – more so than other animals that are unalive. Yeesh.

poor little thing was just a baby…

Yes, I realize how shiny and girly manicured my nail looks, but I can’t help that. The Bushnells have naturally thick nails and my moms side has naturally shiny ones. My hands are doomed to always look beautiful, well maintained (ie, gay). Try to focus on what’s important… We’re talking about the death of a little baby bunny here.

This isn’t funny – but the circumstances of the casualty are bizarre enough to document. lol – don’t resurface this decades later like I was being a douche about it – I’m just telling you what happened…

I crushed him under a plastic office floor mat that i was using to tramp down the overgrown weed grass in the acreage behind my house in Thousand Oaks… I have to clear the tall grass and first I have to be able to walk around it so I have this Office Depot chair roller thing and I’m out there stomp stomp tromping around and I lifted it up after one of the stomps and there was a bloody mouthed adoooorable little bunny twitching. and bleeding.

and then… the twitching stopped…

I put his dead body in a gopher hole. Eff you gophers. yer in for a surprise!

UPDATE: I checked the next day and the body was gone from the hole and not nearby. So. Someone ate it. And that’s good, right? Cuz even though it didn’t get to live a happy life and make new baby bunnies of its own – it fed a predator that would have otherwise killed a live baby bunny and even though that happens every 11 seconds all across the planet, it’s like… better this way maybe? Has to be. If you have to die outside of natural causes – It’s 100% better to get stomped as a baby than to get eaten alive at any age. So really, I did a service to humanity here. I won’t be repeating it, but still – a net good. “Right?” he asked himself. Right. Okay. Cool.

Bunnies. Death. Food. Circle of life.

Good talk.
